BluSmart, an EV ride hailing service and EV charging infrastructure network has annnounced a multi-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Tata Power’s subsidiary, Tata Power Trading Company, to source green power.
Under the PPA, 30 MW capacity will be sourced by TPTCL from Tata Power’s 200 MW Solar PV power plant in Bikaner district, Rajasthan.
